If an ad can use DoH to sidestep a firewall, so can an employee. If Google and Facebook were cunning (and nefarious, but that much is presumed), they would be aggressively developing a product that solves this problem for corporate networks, but at an enormous cost. Otherwise, when corporate networks solve this (and they will), home users who hate ads will just follow whatever pattern they settle on.
I clicked through to read the paper, and some of my questions are answered there, but not (from my initial skim) all.

My intuition was wrong: reads are generally speedy, while writes are a bit slower than ext3.
The author knows how to hook you right in the first paragraph:

>> If you’re looking to pick a fight, simply ask your friends, “Is Pluto a planet?” Or “Is a hotdog a sandwich?” Or “How many holes does a straw have?” The first two questions will have them arguing yay or nay, while the third yields claims of two, one and even zero.

Two, one, or zero? Continues reading...
They’re rolling out a revolutionary new technology that people aren’t used to or don’t trust yet. Phoenix provides that easy testing ground in terms of good roads and great weather year round. Last thing Waymo wants is to tackle too many things at once and cause a disaster. Remember how a single death effectively ended Uber’s self driving efforts?

They’re also offering a commercial service. Which means figuring out operations, customer service, emergency protocols, working with local administration and so on. They’ve said a larger goal in Phoenix is to figure out how to perform and scale operations. The local regulations there are much more favorable. Until recently, Phoenix was one of the only (probably only) places where you could operate a robotaxi program and charge for it. California just recently approved it, so SF is where they’ll likely go next as they are already setting up everything there.

Ultimately, mapping is the not the constraint for them to go to new places. It’s the operations and regulations that they need to figure out every time.

Okay, good to know! I could probably figure out the connector myself, but if it was some kind of space-saving soldered connection, etc. I don't think that would particularly fun to mess around with.
It is not possible as of now but we are about to start integrating with DAG managers (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect...). That will give the possibility to schedule the connectors with the proper dependencies.

Your entire comment is a strawman.

Either way, your first comment is false. Sex is not free. I can't go outside and instantly have sex. I need a partner who is willing - which is, again, not free.

> Women getting married and having children later should mean more opportunities for casual sex, not fewer.

You're conflating "should" with "What is." You think it "should" mean more opportunities - but you haven't given any evidence that it actually should, and society shows that there is less sex. So this is false.

> Boomers have not forced younger people to find hookups on tinder. The argument about competition makes no sense. Everyone can't be outcompeted.

The argument makes perfect sense if you would get over your need to protect boomers, which is an odd strawman.

People don't want to settle. Now that they see they have potential access to more attractive mates, they are less likely to settle for someone less attractive and in turn others are less likely to settle for them. The benefits of having a partner just aren't there anymore, and the younger generations are far more risk averse (not just with sex: “It’s part of an overall trend toward less risky behavior since 1990, including not only sex but alcohol use, risky driving, and criminal activity,” Dr. Arnett told Healthline.") than the lead fueled baby boomers.

Young people can't consent until 18. While boomers aren't forcing anyone to use tinder, society has impressed these things upon youth. It's unfair to say that children and adolescents have free agency. They don't.

Personally, the most infuriating thing about a tool is where I can fix the damn thing given the source code but I have to go through the support staff to the engineering team and then wait for "this is on our roadmap but not something we're currently prioritizing". Right, I know. I don't expect other people to do work for me. I just need them to let me do the work myself.

The massive advantage of the OSS route isn't that you can ask the community to build a tool for you; it's that when you inevitably have a corner case or some behaviour you want to encode, you can just make RenesPostgres connector and copy in the Postgres connector and fix it.

I don't understand why anyone keeps their source all closed. Even one of those "you can't release this but you can edit it" licenses is better.

Half of why I use Kong as an API Gateway is that I can just edit the source code of their plugins. Thank fuck for that.
Sorry about the late reply. The Firefox apologist mob managed to get me shadow banned with the unjust down-votes, lol.

A lot of people uninstalled Firefox because of Mozilla's politically-fueled 'disinformation' post on their blog. I don't blame them. I worry that Pocket will have these mysterious AI's enabled to defeat 'disinformation', which is why I actively avoid it.

What’s up with type safety? The only escape hatch is casting (and of course co/contra/invariance, but it is a semantic issue).
Overloading may be a legit issue, but I am yet to run into it, you are right about arrays and value types, but they are being worked on and hopefully project valhalla can solve these issues.

C++’s templates have different trade-offs (lack of semantic validation, though perhaps it is solved by concepts and constraints? I haven’t looked into them yet)
Do you have a recommendation for another “provider”. I do like the maturity of the new motion app and most chargers i frequent were 32-35ct/kWh already.

Great. Why should tech companies (and by extension software engineers) provide discounted service to non tech businesses?

No other industry has made themselves so available at such affordable pricing than tech has?

Where are all the blog posts/free software/free advise from those finance companies?

Where is all the free legal/free court counsel info from all lawyers?

It's about time tech started charging for commercial use.

Software engineers worldwide deserve more of the pie and letting traditional industries eat Michelin quality food at fast food prices has to end.

Retailers don't sell at cost - they never have. They sell at as much profit as they can get (and yet free ERPs exist/cheap e-commerce exists).

All so the non-tech business people can have greater profit? Fuck that.
Am I the only one who sees Revue, Substack etc. as a niche market? I can see why it appeals to Silicon Valley types/HN readers; after all this website is a content aggregator so it makes sense we all have a shared interest in written work. That said I think that the blog "industry" is dying more than it is growing.

To me, media seems to be trending towards quick, consumable, visually stimulating content, ie YouTube, TikTok and the like. The reason such content is more engaging and profitable is because it's a lot easier to turn it into a feed: one does not scroll through a newsletter for hours on end, and long form content tends to be the type that you put more thought into reading instead of simply moving on to the next piece.

Advertising runs on eyeballs but subscriptions do not, and it feels to me like Twitter seem to think that creating a well integrated platform to drive more Twitter discussion is a good idea, but really to me it feels like blogs and Tweets run perpendicular to each other: anyone who's read a decent amount of Twitter conversation knows that deeply thought out and sensible it is not.

Maybe they see being able to be "in" conversations about paywalled content will incentivize people to pay up, and will subsequently start pushing Revue content on people's feeds to try and create such a mentality? Or maybe Twitter don't care about making Revue "part of" Twitter and just think it's a growing market worth capitalising on. Only time will tell.

In a way it sort of reminds me of podcasts. They work well only for a group of people who have the time to consume long content, and while it works as a large niche, I can't see it growing into a Twitter-scale mass market, so I wouldn't trust it to be around for a particularly long time.

What about JS libraries or CSS hosted by a CDN? I'm thinking jQuery, Bootstrap, etc etc. I learned that using a common CDN was the way to go because the content would likely already be in the user's cache and often not need to be loaded.

> The goal is to change the industry slowly. You don't change industry by killing them quickly...

I completely agree. People calling for an immediate 4% fine are ignoring that killing companies is bad for the economy. If a “pitiful” fine of $200,000 fixes the behavior, why fine the living daylights out of them?

I’m just wondering why the fines have been so “slow” to happen. Enforcement Tracker[0] lists only 533 of which the majority appear to be against individuals (such as “Doctor”, “Private person”, etc.) I just figured there would be more by this point.

In general: long-form, balanced, well-researched essay comments are exactly what's exhibited on HN, and precisely the reason many frequent the site.

It is starkly obvious to frequent visitors when comment threads deviate from this norm into highly-polarised, emotional and often baseless and yet miraculously-synchronised agenda. That this only occurs pertaining to particular topics, and reliably so, reveals to incumbent readership that those engaging in this activity, whilst possibly attempting to blend in, are actually standing naked in full view.

Indeed, in some cases this ineptitude suggests a low level of social awareness possibly consistent with that of a language model.

Regardless, tools to assist genuine readers in filtering such content and reversing its own filtering is a suitable mitigation, largely without negative side-effects.
I see what you're saying. But, for example, all of the new DNS queries for things like jQuery and Google Analytics surely add up to something noticeable.
The place I work is on Premium currently. I was starting to look into using some of their application security tools until I realized like 90% of them are Ultimate/Gold features. It was a huge bummer, especially because I don't have the case yet for getting us to upgrade to Ultimate just for those features.
Nice article. It was one of the inspirations of the first version of the evaluation workflow. We actually have eval running in global context always with just a select items being injected inside eval to ensure security. Also this happens inside a web worker so the scope of global actions a malicious script can take reduces drastically
why would it mean that?
As someone who is in this high-risk community: good news.

(Well, except for that price tag.)

People, to a first approximation, are just terrible at pill compliance. Doesn’t matter the demographics, people just aren’t perfect at taking a pill, every day, at the same time, forever and ever. Having that injection where you can set it and forget it? Nice advance. Not game-changing, but still a nice move forward.

And I think it’ll be a bigger move forward for people who are at high risk of HIV, but also have not great access to medical care where they live. If you…oh boy, here I go, potentially getting into trouble. Non-white and/or non-affluent communities tend to come down much harder on homosexuality. It is much more discreet to get a periodic shot than heading to Walgreen’s and bringing home a bottle full of blue pills. It’s safer. It’s a bit more private.

> It's in the domain name: catchjs. The reason that the web is slow now is javascript. That is, treating a webpage like an application instead of a document. This analysis just assumes all websites are JS-application monsters and only differentiates between them. It misses the point.

A large part of the web are static documents and they should be developed as such.

But I 100% disagree that this is how every website should be. We're given these amazing technologies, the internet, computers, libraries, tools and creativity and now we should just stick with sending and looking at formatted text?

I don't think so!

> What makes it even slower is the practice of serially chain loading JS from multiple domains. Once you're 3 deep in that it doesn't matter how 'fast' your webserver is or how fast and clean your JS code is, the serial loading will slow things to a crawl.

Bundling, code splitting, tree shaking and asynchronous loading, pre-optimizations help here too.

Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze.

> I guess these Hard Drive Stats post cover disks used for their B2 service as well?

Yes. The storage layer is storing both Backblaze Personal Backup files and B2 files. It's COMPLETELY interleaved, every other file might be one or the other. Same storage. And we are reporting the failure rates of drives in that storage layer.

We THINK (but don't know for certain) that the access patterns are relatively similar. For example, many of the 3rd party integrations that store files in B2 are backup programs and those will definitely have similar access patterns. However, B2 is used in some profoundly different applications, like the origin store for a Cloudflare fronted website. So that implies more "reads" than the average backup, and that could be changing the profile over time as that part of our business grows.

Ok... but the 200k thing is easily debunked... The SURE system is not the official record of votes, the certified county results are. It is not unexpected that those wouldn't match (the counties were prioritizing getting the elections certified and hadn't yet published their results to SURE (which, again, isn't the official source of truth, and therefore wasn't a priority). Several large counties had not uploaded their data to SURE, as of the time of the press release you linked to.

I'm pretty interested in this type of thing and am concerned with the current state-of-the-art of online shopping surrounding these issues.

One thing that I've been thinking about a lot is the difficulty in defining what "sustainable" means. One point on the page that I saw and liked is this:

> Make it easy for consumers to buy every day, high-quality household goods that are made of the most sustainable materials and in an environmentally conscious way.

I think one of the aspects of "high-quality" goods that should be considered is durability and repairability. The end-of-life treatment of goods is a big problem in our society. I would encourage repairability to be a factor in considering what goods are carried. And beyond that, perhaps something could be done to encourage the repair or reclamation of old products that are no longer wanted, but still have value — though perhaps that would be out of the scope of this project.

Another aspect in which I think you could really improve on is in the area of returns. Where Amazon has been known to destroy, trash, or recycle perfectly good items that are returned, I think having some good, transparent practices here would an important aspect of meeting the goal of sustainability.

I'm excited to see how things progress!

It's possible to handle libraries on macOS without libtool.
woah another rustacean? hi there!

for rust, it counts as a 'feature' because it provides safety guarantee, and they're opt-in (can use unsafe)

as for haskell, that immutability also provides guarantee of 'referential-transparency', which the users/libraries can use to their advantange.

But in python's case, you have to define the multi-line function *outside* the chaining, and 'forcing to name things' isn't always good (especially for constantly-changing code)

def hideEmail(user):
return {
...user,
email: user.hideEmail? '': user.email,
}

users.map(hideEmail)

// later:
def hideEmailAndPhone(user):
return {
...user,
email: user.hideEmail? '': user.email,
phoneNo: ... // same stuff
}

users.map(hideEmailAndPhone)
---

As for JS/TS, you can have 'named-callback-fn':

users.map(function hidePrivateFields(user) {
...
})

and it's not difficult to come up with 'named-lambda-fn' standard

users.map(hidePrivateFields(user) => {
...
})

Whatever the causes may be, the end result is poor engineering. I didn't say incompetent, but rather lazy and lower quality. Reading further into my point, I mention that often time this carelessness comes as a result of businesses pressing without giving attention to proper resources. But nonetheless, the end result of all of a businesses choices: hiring decisions, budget decisions, scheduling decisions, feature prioritizations, all the same result in the root cause of poor engineering.
The why isn't very important. You only need to know the constraints of your system, you don't need to know why the constraints are what they are... maybe you want to, but not need.
OCR - circa 1990.

I worked in a 'traditional' typesetting house and we'd just got in some 300 dpi B&W flatbed scanners and Desktop Publishing was just starting to get 'commercially acceptable'. I scanned in a single spaced page of text in less than 5 seconds with virtually no errors compared to the hour+ it took to get it 'typeset' and output to bromide. It really was like magic.

Much earlier I wrote a Pascal program on a 486 in school that did some calculations over and over again, writing the output to the screen. It blew my mind then how fast the computer could do it.
